We will deliver road lane widening works and improvements to the bridge approaches. This will improve traffic flow and make the bridge safer for motorists including larger vehicles. We have listened to the community, conducted traffic modelling and reviewed safety statistics to find the bridge needs safety improvements. In May and June 2020 community consultation was carried out using on-line platforms that included a questionnaire where bridge users to gather their could provide their comments about the proposed safety improvements ahead of the Review of Environmental Factors (REF) scheduled for the end of 2020. The campaign reached 210,070 people with 1,041 completing the online questionnaire. Almost half, 437, of the respondents also provided additional feedback. We have learnt: users of the bridge are highly engaged and support the safety improvements the bridge has a legacy, with its long history in the community it is of high interest 21,680 people watched the video of the bridge with an average view time of 8 seconds (5 seconds above the norm.) this bridge is still a frequently used with almost 70% of respondents daily or weekly users 8 out of 10 respondents cited bridge safety as a primary concern 708 respondents subscribed to the project database to be kept informed 95% of subscribers chose email as their preferred form of communication. Proposed safety improvements to Heathcote Road bridge, Engadine – August 2020 3 From the results of the questionnaire we know… Proposed safety improvements to Heathcote Road bridge, Engadine – August 2020 4 1.1.1 Decision Based on this information, we will continue with the development of proposed safety improvements for the Heathcote Road bridge over Woronora River. This is in line with the majority of respondents to the engagement being most concerned about the safety of motorists using the bridge. The next community consultation will be during the display the Review of Environmental Factors in late 2020, which will include a detailed scope of proposed works, environmental and road network impacts and more information about potential road closures. The community will be kept informed as this project progresses. Proposed safety improvements to Heathcote Road bridge, Engadine – August 2020 5 2 Introduction 2.1.1 Background The official name of the bridge is Bridge 152, however it is often referred to as 'the narrow bridge over Woronora River'. For the community this bridge symbolically represents a time when the bridge was one of the few connections between the south and the west. Built by the military the narrow Heathcote Road Bridge over Woronora River history dates back to 1943. The bridge sits over the Woronora River nestled amongst the spectacular Heathcote and Royal National Park. Transport for NSW is making improvements to the bridge as it road lanes are limited in width, with community concern for motorist safety when crossing the bridge. 2.1.2 Methodology Transport for NSW sought comment from users on the proposed changes. We worked within the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions to safeguard the community and our staff whilst doing our best to connect with the community. A short online questionnaire was created to collect contact details and comments from road users that we were able to reach via our communications channels. The questionnaire questions are in Appendix A. The results were collated to understand the demographics and views of participants. Proposed safety improvements to Heathcote Road bridge, Engadine – August 2020 6 3 Engagement approach The Transport for NSW project to deliver safety improvements to the over 75 year old narrow bridge over Woronora River on Heathcote Road, Engadine is in response to community feedback. In the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, 25 May – 5 June 2020, Transport for NSW sought feedback from users of the bridge and the local community on the proposed safety improvements. The social distancing requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic have meant face to face meetings, information sessions are not an option, despite this the community was still given the opportunity to have a say. Transport for NSW developed a consultation and engagement strategy that would overcome barriers to reaching the target audience and use platforms for genuine and meaningful engagement without compromising the health and safety of staff or the community. Creative was developed for the campaign that included a 30 second video for on-line, imagery, project website page to act as the central information source and collateral (postcard and posters). All collateral and media invited community members to provide comments and feedback on the proposed bridge safety improvements, via an on-line questionnaire and a Facebook Live Event. The project website also provided additional methods for the community to provide feedback such as email and a 1800 number. Consultation needed to reach local community members and transient out of area bridge users so a combination of traditional, digital and social media platforms and VMS road signage was used and achieved an audience reach of 210,070. We received a community response of 1041 questionnaires completed and a database of 708 subscribers established for ongoing project communications. 3.1.1 Objectives To direct bridge users to our online questionnaire. To collect information from the questionnaire including contact details,

  • Heathcote Ridge - Site of State Significance Submission to NSW Department of Planning & Infrastructure Dec 2011
    Appendix A Sutherland Shire Council’s Response to: Heathcote Ridge - Site of State Significance Submission to NSW Department of Planning & Infrastructure Dec 2011 This submission includes the consideration of all issues contained in the Director General's Requirements, as well as of additional issues arising from the assessment of this proposal that are of particular concern. The structure of the following sections of the report is based on the numbering and headings system used in the Director General's Requirements. Sustainability Criteria for New Land Release 1. Assessment against the ‘Sustainability Criteria for New Land Release’ in the Metropolitan Strategy and provide justification of listing the site on the Metropolitan Development Program. When evaluated against the State’s ‘Measureable Explanation of Criteria’, the Gandangara Local Aboriginal Land council (GLALC) Heathcote Ridge proposal fails to substantially satisfy the Sustainability Criteria for New Land Release, for the reasons outlined below: Infrastructure The proposed Heathcote Ridge development does not satisfy the requirement that a new land release area must be consistent with “any relevant development strategy, subregional strategy, regional infrastructure strategy and Metropolitan Plan”. This assessment is based on West Menai‘s exclusion from the draft South Subregional Strategy (2007) as a site for residential development. (“There are no major land release areas planned in the South Subregion and most future dwelling growth will be accommodated with existing urban areas” . pg 86). More significantly, the Strategy specifically highlights West Menai’s restricted urban development potential and its capabilities as a ‘Potential Employment Area to be Investigated’. “…much of [West Menai] has environmental significance and its development could impact significantly on adjoining land and be impacted itself from activity on adjoining land such as bushfire and emissions from the waste deposit.

    Proposed new and extended clearways on Old Princes Highway, The Grand Parade, Linden Street, River Road and Bangor Bypass, from Acacia Road, Kirrawee to New Illawarra Road, Menai Community Consultation Report August 2017 "{Double click to insert image}" THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK Executive summary This report provides a summary of Roads and Maritime Services’ consultation with the community and key stakeholders on proposed new and extended clearways on Old Princes Highway, The Grand Parade, Linden Street, River Road and Bangor Bypass from Acacia Road, Kirrawee to New Illawarra Road, Menai. The NSW Government is funding this proposal as part of its $121 million Clearways Program, which aims to manage congestion and delays on Sydney’s roads. Roads and Maritime proposed new and extended clearways to operate in both directions along the corridor on: weekdays from 6am to 10am and 3pm to 7pm weekends and public holidays from 9am to 6pm. The weekday clearway hours are consistent with the weekday clearway hours that have recently been installed on Princes Highway, north-east of this proposal, which will minimise confusion for motorists. Roads and Maritime invited feedback on this proposal in May, June and July. We received feedback from 49 people, with six people supporting the proposal, nine people with conditional support, five who opposed the proposal and 29 who did not state a preference. People who provided conditional support of the proposal requested to extend the hours of operation to be 24 hours, seven days a week. The five people who opposed the proposal raised concerns including: effectiveness of the clearways alternate parking availability for residents seeking justification of clearway locations.

  • APPENDIX B Traffic and Transport
    APPENDIX B Traffic and Transport PREFACE The technical working papers for the proposed ILC at Enfield were prepared during the first half of 2005. These were prepared in response to the requirements for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under Part 4 of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act, 1979 (EP&A Act). Specific requirements for the EIS were issued on 1 March 2005 by the (then) Director- General of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources. The EP& A Act was amended on 1 August 2005 by the creation of Part 3A of the Act, and the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources was dissolved on 26 August 2005 and replaced by the Department of Planning and the Department of Natural Resources. The proposed ILC at Enfield has since been declared a major project, pursuant to SEPP (Major Projects) 2005 and Sydney Ports has subsequently lodged an application under Part 3A of the Act. Editorial changes to the technical working papers to reflect the changes in legislation or changes in Government departments have not been made. The following should be considered when reading the technical papers: The Director-General’s requirements issued under Part 4 are now deemed to have been issued under Part 3A, and any reference to the Director-General’s requirements should be read as a reference to Director-General’s requirements issued under Part 3A; Any reference to an EIS under Part 4 of the Act should be read as a reference to an Environmental Assessment under Part 3A of the Act; Any reference to the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources should be read as a reference to either the Department of Planning or the Department of Natural Resources, as appropriate.
